第二部分： 阅读理解（共 20 小题;每小题 2 分，满分 40 分）第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 A With eight bloodshot eyes fixed on a flying object, the pains of a two-year project were about to bear fruit. It was Wang Hongyi‘s first test flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) （无人机） designed and assembled （组装） with his teammates from the Aero-Sport Club (航模队)at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Wang is a senior mechanical engineering and automation major. He has been a plane model fan since childhood. As a freshman, he spent two nights building a model aircraft and took it to the sports field just for fun. Wu Junqi, the coach of Shanghai Jiaotong University‘s Aero-Sport Club, spotted Wang and told him his model was outdated. ―I was a little angry, so he took me to the lab,‖ says Wang. He was immediately drawn to the modern equipment and decided to join the club. As a technology fan, Wang spends most of his spare time in the lab. ―He loves what he‘s doing, so he can stand the loneliness of doing research that others seldom have the persistence to carry out,‖ says coach Wu. When Wang and his teammates were building UAV, they lived together in the lab. ―We tried to spend as much time together as possible because there were thousands of problems that needed to be solved,‖ Wang says. They didn‘t even have time to celebrate when the first test flight of the UAV went well. ―We needed to list the problems that occurred during the flight and analyze them to find solutions,‖ he says. ―Our UAV isn‘t finished yet, but there are many design projects and people with similar interests waiting for me,‖ Wang says. ―The UAV is just the beginning, not the end of my aircraft journey.‖ 21. Why did Wang succeed in doing the research? A. He majored in mechanical engineering and automation. B. He had a good coach and wonderful teammates. C. He loved what he did and would stick to it. D. He was highly thought of by Wu Junqi.1

B. Tell readers about UAV development in China. C. Inform readers about Wang Hongyi and his UAV. D. Call on readers to do what interests them. 24. What message does Wang Hongyi‘s story convey to us? A. Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. B. Two heads are better than one. C. Interest is the best teacher. D. Actions speak louder than words. B Five years after a NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide fell into the ocean after taking off, the space agency is launching another almost exactly like it — this time on a different rocket. The $468 million mission(任务) is designed to study the main driver of climate change resulting from smokestacks (烟囱). Some of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans, and the rest rises into the atmosphere, trapping the sun's heat and warming the planet. But atmospheric CO2 levels fluctuate with the seasons and in different regions of the Earth. The natural and human activities that cause the changes are complicated. The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2, or OCO-2 for short, will be able to take a detailed look at most of the Earth's surface to identify places responsible for producing or absorbing the greenhouse gas. "This will allow us to understand what processes are controlling how much carbon is absorbed in a given time and place," Anna Michalak, a scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science, who is not part of the mission, said in an email. The mission, designed to last two years, could provide data that will help scientists make predictions about future carbon dioxide levels and their influence. NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009 when a rocket carrying the original satellite fell into the waters off Antarctica minutes after rising from Vandenberg Air Force Base along the central California coast. After the loss, engineers built a near-identical twin that was set to launch before dawn Tuesday. Instead of using the same rocket, the replacement will be flown on a Delta 2, a workhorse booster (主力助推器) that once faced a dark future. 25. What does the underlined word ―fluctuate‖ in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Increase B. Vary C. Drop D. Improve 26. From the second paragraph we can know__________.

A. the natural activities causing the climate changes are simple B. Anna Michalak is a scientist who takes part in the task C. most of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by trees and oceans D. OCO-2 will help scientists predict future CO2 levels in the atmosphere 27. What caused the failure to the first satellite launch? A. Operation error. B. Bad weather. C. Poor preparation. D. Problems of the rocket. 28. What‘s the main idea of the text? A. A NASA satellite to track carbon dioxide plunged into the ocean. B. CO2 levels are different in different regions. C. NASA suffered a major scientific and financial disaster in 2009. D. NASA will give global warming satellite second try C Students are basing their research for business school on their network of contacts, skills and knowledge to acquire and the brand value associated to it.

In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, it‘s good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well. ―The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized,‖ says Weaver. ―If they haven‘t had a break, then they‘re not coming back with new energy. They haven‘t had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and come back with renewed enthusiasm.‖ Long working hours without a break, insecurity（不安）about one‘s job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time. ―It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they‘re there,‖ says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees‘ productivity, creativity, and effectiveness. In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employee‘s pocketbook. Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems. If they‘re always at work, then they‘re not with their family and friends. If they‘re working while on vacation, for the time that they‘re on the job, they‘re not really present. An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air, you may see that you‘re alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you. 32. What‘s the main benefit of a vacation?

A. The manager can be more creative. B. The worker can step back and get more excited C. The worker can come back with new energy. D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better. 33. The underlined word ―there‖ in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________. A. the vacation C. the university A. absent-minded B. energetic B. the home D. the company C. skillful D. active

4. Each subject is different Depending on your learning style, you may find one easier than the other. More unusual exam types, such as performance exams, require their own unique attention. 40

A. Besides, your time allocation (分配) may be dependent on your own aptitude in that subject. B. Make a detailed timetable C. Pressure and nerves can undoubtedly make it an uncomfortable experience. D. Revision is a process of improvement. E. Plan early F. Starting with a subject that appears early on in the exam schedule is a wise decision. G. The best revision plans have an element of strategy to their creation.

34. When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more__________ . 35. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. How to spend the vacation effectively. B. Why the workers need a vacation. C. How to deal with the daily pressure. D. Why the workers need new energy. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。 The revision period is, arguably, the most difficult part of any exam process. The exam itself – usually between one and three hours. 36 However, the knowledge that it is the culmination of the entire process should provide some comfort. A well-structured revision plan can help you revise well. Below are my top tips for creating a well-structured and comprehensive revision plan, which will provide the best chance of success in the summer. 1. 37 It ought to go without saying that planning your revision timetable must be done before anything else, to ensure there is enough time for comprehensive coverage of all subjects. With most exams starting at the end of June, the revision plan should be in place by the end of March at least. 2. Continual assessment 38 In order to chart ( 跟 踪 记 录 ) your development effectively, we recommend that our students attempt practice papers in each subject, marked according to the relevant mark scheme and curriculum. 3. Order your subjects strategically 39 Ordering your subjects in an effective manner can help to do this. For example, scheduling English revision to appear early in your revision plan may provide useful when revising essay-based subjects such as History, Religious Studies and Politics later on.3

Last week I bought an English dictionary from your online bookstore because I am in great need of such a dictionary to help me with my English study. It costs me 25 dollars. But unfortunately when it reached me, I found it very unsatisfactory. There are quite a few misprints and some of the pages are even missing! As far as I am concerned, I‘d like my money back or at least you can change this dictionary for another copy! Personally you should have checked the dictionary to make it sure that the dictionary is of high quality before you delivered to customers. I do hope your service can improve from now on. I‘m looking forward to your reply. Yours, Li Hua 附：听力原文7

（Text 1） M: I thought you only liked collecting stamps. W: I also like collecting coins. But collecting train tickets is my favorite activity. （Text 2） W: Songs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger, too? M: Sure. It‘s a new find by American researchers and reported in Russia on Tuesday. （Text 3） W: Do you have any change? I‘m dying for candy and this machine won‘t give change. M: Look. This one gives change. I think I‘ll get something to eat, too. （Text 4） W: Good morning. May I help you, sir? M: Yes, could I change these pounds for dollars, please? W: Do you want small bills or large ones? M: Both are OK. （Text 5） M: Why didn‘t you call me yesterday? I was waiting by the phone all day. W: I‘m sorry, but I couldn‘t call. I couldn‘t find a phone. M: What do you mean you couldn‘t call? You have a cellphone, don‘t you? W: I used to have a cellphone. The teacher took it away because I tried to call you from class. （Text 6） M: Hello. Can I help you? W: Oh, hello. Yes. I want something to wear at a conference. M: So, you're looking for something quite smart. W: Yes. Some kind of business suit...Hmm, this is nice. Is this one on sale? M: Yes, it is. There's a 25% reduction on this one. It's a real bargain. W: Hmm. It's still a bit expensive for me. Is there a discount for cash? M: Oh, no, I'm sorry. W: Oh, well, can I try it on? M: Yes, of course. The changing room is just over there. W: Thanks. （Text 7） W: My grandfather hasn't been too well lately. M: Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear that. W: He's 79. Don't you think he should slow down a bit at his age? M: Absolutely. W: But he won't listen to me. He says he wants to enjoy his life to the full. M: Fair enough. W: Last summer he went on a two-week cycling holiday in France. Last winter he attended a skiing contest.

M: You are kidding. I can't believe it. W: We're going to give him a big party for his 80th birthday. M: That's great. W: But before that, I'm going to have a word with him and tell him to take things more easy. M: Good for you. （Text 8） M: This is all your fault! This wouldn‘t have happened if you hadn‘t tried to give money to that policeman! W: Well, if you‘d listened to me when I suggested asking someone for directions, we shouldn‘t have got lost in the first place, would we? M: Oh, go on! Blame it all on me! You were the one who was driving when we got stopped by the police. If you hadn‘t been speeding, we wouldn‘t have been stopped at all! W: That‘s not fair. We were doing fine until you suddenly decided you knew a quicker way! M: Oh, come on! I only suggest it because we were running so late. We would‘ve been fine if you hadn‘t suggested driving instead of taking the train. W: No! We would‘ve been fine if you had remembered to book tickets! （Text 9） W: Why is it that some children perform better than others at school? M: Obviously, certain children are brighter than others. But it is not that simple. A lot of emphasis is placed on intelligence measured by tests. W: The so-called IQ tests? M: Yes. Basically they are intended to test language and numerical ability, so some children are bound to suffer. This is very unfortunate. A child with an average IQ may turn out to be successful when he grows up. W: What you are saying is that some children have abilities that are not easy to measure. M: Exactly. If these abilities are not discovered early, they cannot be developed. That‘s why there are so many unhappy parents in the world. They are not doing the things they are best at. W: I see. M: But at school, only those who are good with words and numbers will probably do well in exams. W: Right. Is there anything a parent can do to help in this case? M: Yes. In my opinion, a child should be judged on his individual talents. After all, being happy in life is putting your skills to good use, no matter what they are. （Text 10） Mr. Mora is a famous university president. He is remembered as a humorous man because his lectures cause laughter from time to time. He is also remembered by his family and friends for being absent-minded. There are many interesting stories about Mr. Mora, which amuses people. Once on a train, a conductor came to Mr. Mora, asking for his ticket. He began to search his pockets. No ticket appeared. Mr. Mora began searching his suitcase. ―Never mind, sir,‖ said the8

conductor, seeing how anxious Mr. Mora was becoming and trying to comfort him. ―When you find your ticket, just post it to the station. I‘m sure you have it somewhere.‖ ―I‘m sure, too,‖ said the president as he continued searching. ―But I must find it. I need to know where I‘m going.‖ Mr. Mora got off the train in New York and hurried to the post office to make a telephone call to his secretary. ―I‘m in New York now but I don‘t know why,‖ said Mr. Mora, feeling like a small boy who had got lost. Within minutes came the short reply, ―You are not supposed to be in New York. You should be in Princeton to give a lecture.‖
